JOURNAL-BEARING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,560, dated January 5, 1886.

Application filed May 26, 1885.

T at whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST WILHELM SPATZIER, residing at Leipsic, Germany, have invented a new and Improved Journal-Bearing, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an adjustable journal-bearing Which permits the axial center to be shifted, and which is adapted to receive journals of different sizes.

The invention consists in the features of improvement hereinafter more fully pointed out.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of a box-bearing provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same; Fig. 3, an end view, and Fig. 4 a top View, of the same.

The letter a represents the frame of the hearing, which may be either a box-frame or it may be adapted to be attached to the ceiling, floor, or wall. The frame a is provided with four radial ways or channels b, which project outwardly from a large central opening within the frame a. The ways I) receive the U square bearings c of four friction disks or rolls,

d,adapted to slide backward or forward within such ways. Each Way b is closed at its outer end by a perforated cross-piece, f,which admits a set-screw, g, the inner end of which Serial No. 166,684. (No model.)

is swiveled to a bail, e, that connects each pair of bearings c for every roll d, Fig. 2. In this way the roll d is moved either toward or away from the central opening of frame a by revolving set-screw g. Scales are cut or marked along the edges of ways I), so that the position of the rolls (1 may be accurately adjusted.

h are strengthening-rings, bolted to frame a at both sides of the journal. These rings are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and they serve to properly re enforce the frame, which might otherwise become weakened on account of the slots. Thejournal is introduced into the bearing, and then the rolls (Z are set so as to lightly friction against the same. 7

I claim as my invention- The combination of frame a,having ways b, and perforated cross -pieces f with rolls d, having bearings 0, and with set-screws g, and re-enforcing ring it, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

AUGUST WILHELM SPATZIER.
